And while we're at it, why not ignore runway markings, visibility requirements and whatever else is in the AIM, too? Jeeze! AIM is not gospel, and although it represents distilled (good) judgement, it should not =replace= judgement. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address)

Teacherjh,

Sure there was. I made the judgement that it was better for me to briefly not reply to a ping than to reply inappropriately as I was switching numbers. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address)

It takes at least two sweeps and sometimes as many as 5 sweeps before the radar will tag you up on a code you're squawking.

I've sometimes been assigned a new squawk code then heard "radar contact" within a couple of seconds (usually, though, it's more like 20-30 seconds, which would agree with what Newps writes). All the best, David

Dark lonely night and you are the only airplane in the airspace
squawking VFR. You call up for service I'll give you a code and radar contact in the same breath.
